Science is not just knowledge, it is a way of thinking, a method of finding out about the world. We see

18、 something. We try to explain it, and we test our idea by setting up all experiments. One day you come home and find the plant on the table has fallen over. You think it might be the wind from the open window or the cat. So you close the window, but leave the cat in and see what happens (you can als

Then put them in the icebox and check every three minutes. Write the results in a table. The conclusion will be that salt ch

22、anges the behavior of water, thinking about the string, we see the salt turned some of the ice into water.
